Journalists Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig plan to release a follow-up to "A Very Stable Genius" -- an account of Trump's first term that became a New York Times bestseller, Politico reported early Monday.
Penguin Random House will publish the book, the news outlet reported. The publisher said it will examine Trump's "failure to take seriously and contain the COVID-19 virus, even as it ravaged the American people and economy," Politico added.

The book will also reportedly detail Trump's "deployment of federal officers to shut down the Black Lives Matter protests and to campaign for re-election as the law-and-order president; and Trump’s attempts to discredit not only the 2020 presidential election and Joe Biden

Rucker confirmed plans for the book's publication in a tweet on Monday morning.
Some personal news: I’m teaming up again with @CarolLeonnig to write a book about President Trump’s final year in office. We’ll pick up where we left off with “A Very Stable Genius.” I’m thrilled to be working again with the great Ann Godoff and the all-stars at @penguinpress! https://t.co/PaQeBUywvP

Leonnig told NPR in January that Trump did not speak with either her or Rucker for that book.
"The guardrails are gone, and increasingly the decisions have become more chaotic," Leonnig said. "And the people that he's surrounded by are increasingly those who think their mission is to tell him, 'Yes.' "
